My mother taught children to love to dance.
I was raised a Catholic and when you're raised a Catholic they don't teach you to think for yourself. You're taught not to think too deeply about things.
I'm an actor, paid to act. I don't bring personal problems to the sets. Dad taught me that.
Marriage is a school itself. Also, having children. Becoming a father changed my whole life. It taught me as if by revelation.
My deceased patients have taught me over the years to believe in the glass half full, to make good use of the time we have, to be generous - that was their lesson for the Uber-mind, and it was free. 'Do that,' they said, 'and then perhaps death shall have no dominion.'
I taught a lot of art history, especially Chinese, Japanese, and Indian. But the painting classes came back. The nudes came back. Not so much the still lifes. So now our department is the worst department, partly because it has the worst facilities.
New York taught me everything.
I've always boxed, I always taught boxing.
The civil rights and antiwar movements taught Americans to question authority.
My two main trainers were John Dahmer and DJ Hyde. DJ Hyde mainly taught me how to be tough: I mean, the beatings that he used to give the students as far as wrestling initiations go were as tough as they come, and I'm thankful for it.
